2014 Jerseys, Logos & Sponsorship Thread

[GAZF]

If there were any time to use the white rabbit it would be there. Looks horrendous as is.

 

[Big Sam]

That's right - they didn't use the white + red/green chevrons jersey even ONCE in last year's season proper

Didn't have Canberra away. But you'll see it in Round 20 this year.

So we don't really need an alternative design for 23 matches of the year. The different panelling is done for $$$ merchandising reasons.

ha,
f**k me this thread is full of idiots.

theres people who love/can deal with the broncos 'away' jersey, or a yellow eels strip, stating that its simply the colours reversed (signifying no need for a WHITE strip). can put up with saints and dogs never using an away jersey. and (the same) people demanding teams have a white strip or think its ridiculous their away jersey is almost same as home..

5 mins ago we want teams to only wear 1 jersey, now souths must have a white one for away games instead of a minor change to their home? but its cool for broncos/ eels/ tigers/ panthers/ sharks to not have a white one...

We're talking about aesthetics here. It's subjective. Opinions can change.
By the way, the Panthers do have a white strip, the one used in the 9s.

 

[kdalymc]

yes, but they will never use/need to use it. how many teams clash with pink..
actually how many teams clash with black...

How does lime green clash with cardinal and myrtle stripes?

 

[100%green]

Does all this really matter???

If it sells, if it puts money into the clubs and game, if there are fans out there that like collecting or buying different jerseys then does all this crap really matter?

Every year its the same arguments. You can't please everyone. I think this year most of the teams have got it spot on with their home and away jerseys bar Brisbane (I just don't like the design and think Nike is beyond useless in Australia). And if it gets more people walking around town in NRL gear then I am all for it

Cos NRL said so

 

[ek999]

Those two jerseys were used a grand total of ONCE between them in first grade NRL fixtures over the past two years.

That's right - they didn't use the white + red/green chevrons jersey even ONCE in last year's season proper :lol:

You really are a f**king idiot aren't you? In the last 2 years they have played Canberra in Canberra once which is the only time they need to wear their alternate jersey.

 

[Big Sam]

Actually we haven't played them there since '11. And when we did we wore an all white uniform (I think it was that week Merritt scored 8 tries).

ha,
f**k me this thread is full of idiots.

How to win friends and influence people.....

How does lime green clash with cardinal and myrtle stripes?

It didn't matter in '87 or '89 when the Raiders plowed the Rabbits in to the turf.


I think Souths should be forced to change their red and green stripes anyway. Will encourage more colour blind folks to come to the footy.

That was exactly my point... but thanks for the insults :thumb

 

[The Elephant In The room]

I have always wondered why Souths don't reverse the red with the green on their away jersey to give it an additional point of difference from their home one.

Myrtle and cardinal would never work together, hence why they stick the stock standard cardinal and myrtle :sarcasm:

I think its a great alternate strip TBH.

 

[kdalymc]

I hate the parra jersey. Stripes shouldn't go higher then the badges looks ridiculous

 

[Timmah]

I don't mind it. And I love that it's a direct reversal set too.

Minus the extra blue bar. Pick one of the two imo. They looked pretty good on Sunday night though.

The extra blue bar has traditionally been a part of the yellow away jersey since it was introduced. Keeping with tradition maybe?

Should get to see the yellow jersey in action on Saturday night against the Roosters.

I hate to sound like a dick but you're pointing out the bleeding obvious. I'm saying that they should either get rid of the 4 stripes or the one blue bar. Its obvious that the blue is for the dyldam logo (see sleeves).
